A worker shared this image on a popular Reddit sub that sparked a viral thread and ensuing discussion.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/heybigdog. The post consists of a heavily censored image of a document that was allegedly issued to them by their employer. The thread has received 14.7k upvotes and inspired over two-thousand comments at the time of this writing.
The document appears to be titled as a "Confidentiality Agreement" and goes on to prohibit employees from discussing any "business transactions" including employee salaries and wages. In case you're wondering, and as multiple commenters on this thread would happily tell you, yes, this is highly illegal in the United States.
This is taken from the National Labor Relations Board page on the subject:
"Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or the Act), employees have the right to communicate with other employees at their workplace about their wages. Wages are a vital term and condition of employment, and discussions of wages are often preliminary to organizing or other actions for mutual aid or protection."
